1965 Map of Orvil

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Tire Proving Ground dominates this mid-1960s landscape, featuring a large circular track and an Observation Tower central to its operations. This specialized industrial footprint is set against a backdrop of traditional ranching infrastructure in Webb County. The presence of numerous named water tanks, such as Juan Tank, Bull Trap Tank, and Calabaza Tank, suggests a land managed for livestock where natural surface water was scarce.
